Disentangling chemical evolution histories with phylogenetic trees
Rebeca Canales, Paula Jofré, Claudia Aguilera-Gómez +6
Chemical abundances encode the fossil record of galaxy evolution in a complex and diverse way that requires innovative approaches to reconstruct galactic histories. We investigate…
The Milky Way in motion: gauging stellar trajectories that shape the Galactic thin disc
M. L. L. Dantas, R. Smiljanic, R. S. de Souza +2
As stars traverse the Milky Way, their orbits evolve through perturbations that alter their orbital radii. These changes arise from two mechanisms: churning, which modifies angular…
Diving into dangerous tides: The impact of galaxy cluster tidal environments on satellite galaxy mass densities
Matias Blaña, Thomas H. Puzia, Yasna Ordenes-Briceño +8
Satellite galaxies endure powerful environmental tidal forces that drive mass stripping of their outer regions. Consequently, satellites located in central regions of galaxy cluste…
Hidden Figures in the Sky: Evolution of low-surface brightness galaxies from a hydro-dynamical perspective
D. Stoppacher, P. Tissera, Y. Rosas-Guevara +2
Low-surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) are defined as galaxies with central surface brightness levels fainter than the night sky, making them challenging to observe. A key open qu…
Probing the origins. I. Generalised Additive Model inference of birth radii for Milky Way stars in the solar vicinity
M. L. L. Dantas, R. Smiljanic, R. S. de Souza +2
We employ a Generalised Additive Model (GAM) to address the limitations inherent in radial metallicity gradients predicted by chemical evolution models, thereby facilitating the es…
An ancient system hidden in the Galactic plane?
Federico Sestito, Emma Fernandez-Alvar, Rebecca Brooks +19
We analyse high signal-to-noise ESPaDOnS/CFHT spectra of 20 very metal-poor stars (VMP; [Fe/H]~) in the solar neighbourhood (within kpc), selected to be on planar or…
The metallicity gradients of star-forming regions store information of the assembly history of galaxies
F. Jara-Ferreira, P. B. Tissera, E. Sillero +5
The variations in metallicity and spatial patterns within star-forming regions of galaxies result from diverse physical processes unfolding throughout their evolutionary history, w…
SDSS-IV MANGA: A Star Formation -- Baryonic Mass Relation at Kpc Scales
J. K. Barrera-Ballesteros, T. Heckman, S. F. Sanchez +11
Star formation rate density, , has shown a remarkable correlation with both components of the baryonic mass at kpc scales (i.e., the stellar mass density, and the mole…
